Oliver
had a great feel for the
funky jazz style which
was so popular. This
chart features tenor sax
throughout, and was
recorded on the
Fantabulous album. It is
a very easy chart to
play, and it would be a

is a slow blues, with
Willis taking a VERY
different approach. There
are doubles in all the
saxophone parts, group
improvisation, solo for
trumpet, piano and tenor

As
commissioned (and
recorded) by the SWR Big
Band of Stuttgart,
Germany, this is an
extended arrangement
based on a gorgeous
melody by Pat Metheny.
The saxophone players
double on flute (sax 1),
clarinets (sax 2-4) and
bass clarinet (sax 5).
There is solo space for
piano, tenor sax and
trombone, as the chart
moves from a rubato
ballad, to a bossa feel,
to a rock ballad feel,
and back to the rubato
again. This is a highly,
emotionally charged piece
which makes a wonderful
addition to any program.
Limited brass ranges. The
chart also includes an
interweaving of Metheny's
pensive melody Tell Her
You Saw Me. The CD on
which this piece is
recorded is Towednack,

Hommage to Astor
Piazzolla by the HR Big
Band (Germany), this
arrangement will surely
lift your audiences out
of their seats. It
features a main soloist
of your choice
(originally recorded with
bandoneon solo) and
another solo for tenor
saxophone. Various parts
are included for
different soloists to
use. This marvelous
arrangement opens with
warm sounds in clarinets,
muted trombones and
flugelhorns behind the
beautiful melody stated
by the primary soloist.
The setting is a medium
tango, with a short,
exciting swing section
near the end of the
chart. Once the piece
moves into a strong,
rock-fusion feel, there
is no turning back. You
and your band will love
this chart. This requires
clarinet doubles on the
top 3 saxophone parts and
bass clarinet on the

A
monumental piece of big

written for Les'
fantastic Chicago band.
It is an extensive work
(about 12 minutes) which
features trumpet (or
flugelhorn) throughout in
various settings and
styles, based on one of
the most beautiful
melodies Les has ever
written. There are also
piano solos. Woodwind
players must be good
doublers and it is well
worth the effort. This is
certainly one of Hooper's
most dynamic and
interesting creations
(among a great many)! As
